The Senate Committee on judiciary
failed to get its members together for a
formal meeting today. The committee
has. however, given some consideration
20 the Lamar nomination. and there are
"a variety of rumOrs as to how the com
mittee stands. no ballot has been taken,
but Fl is said that Mr. Lamars friends
have failed I'm their efforts TO secure as
sufances of The favorable action of four
Republican and one Demcbratic Sena-
tor. If this report is correct, 1t would
indicate that only four members OF the
committee, one Republican and three
Democrats, have declared their intention
10 vote iayOrably on the nomination.
The possibility of an adverse report Is
not regarded by Mr. Lamars friends as
seriously impairing his chances Of con-
hrmatiOn They claim that he is sure OF
"a majority of the Senate in spite OF an
adverse report
Another report is That the committee is
divided on party lines, and that Senators
Edmunds, ingalls,, Hoar, Eyarts, and
Wilson an opposed the confirmation,
while Senators Pugh, Vest, Coke, and
George are favorable TO Mr.. Lamar.
The members of the committee DO not
